Husband upset over wife's expensive meal choice during dinner out.
A man who loves to dine out and seek value in whatever he purchases is miffed when his wife orders an expensive meal during their dinner out. He manages the family finances and shops for the family, and his wife says she does not look at prices and will order what she wants. The man's hyper-awareness of prices can be annoying, and he should cede some control and include his wife as a partner in household decision-making. In another letter, a retiree wonders if they did something wrong by sending old letters to friends and family, and a reader advises a newlywed to stand her ground with her mother-in-law.
